After a difficult run in the UFC, Shane
Roller is apparently calling it a career.

The 33-year-old lightweight announced the decision on his Twitter
account Monday, three days after he suffered a first-round
submission loss to Jacob
Volkmann at
UFC on FX 5.

“Looks like I’m hanging up the gloves for good,” Roller wrote. “It
was fun, but time to move on. [It sucks] that it ended like that.
Now [starting] the next chapter.”

A three-time All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State University,
Roller struggled to establish himself in the Octagon. After
debuting with a second-round knockout of Thiago
Tavares at UFC Live 3, the Team Takedown product would drop his
next three contests. He rebounded to capture a unanimous decision
against John Alessio
in July before falling to Volkmann via neck crank in the opening
round of their 155-pound clash on Friday.
